  • Every year fall we (mostly my husband) harvest ginkgo fruits from an old ginkgo biloba tree so that we may snack the lovely nut inside. here is a catch though -- when crushed the bright orange cherry-like fruits smell like a combination of vomit and dog poo. Lovely, eh? Now, that I've whetted your appetite, let's go and harvest some nuts and I'll show you how to cook 'em up.

I remember being so smitten with them because I only ever saw the trees online; The golden color of the leaves are absolutely stunning, I collected quite a few to keep in my scrapbook.

I got so used to the scent of the Ginko being all smooshed on the ground, I actually became rather fond of them. I never felt they smelled too bad. Another note, by the Ronald McDonald House in Pittsburgh, there was this house that had an entire row of bushes of Honeysuckles. My mom and I would always sneak one when we passed by.

Every year the upper class men would sort of gather around the trees and watch as all the new freshmen would start to step on the fruit for a few steps before realizing their mistake. I took horticulture in High school and we studied the Ginkgo tree as part of our curriculum, so the second I saw the leaves and fruit I went the long way round. That stuff makes your shoes smell like poop for weeks. So thankful for my horticulture teacher from high school.

    In the Summer, I'd stay with my grandmother. Around her housing complex were two gingko trees. Year after year, the nuts would drop (hehe) and we'd all end up tracking the debris in grandma's house. My god, that funk is embedded in my brain.
    Interestingly enough, a small group of Asians caught wind of the trees, and would come into the complex to pick them.

      The only edible part is the nut, and the safest way to eat it is crack it raw, then boil it.
      Then cut in the half. And soak in cold water. Threw away the brown skin and the thing in the middle of it. Rinse. Then use it to make the sweet soup with sugar, pandan leave, dried longan, red dates and snow fungus.
      It's taste heavenly and it's the Chines New Year Dessert in Malaysia and Singapore. But take a lot of works.
      The smell of the outer shell is nasty when brought freshly from the market. Don't smell it, the edible part is only inside.
      Microwave method much easier but you may ended up poisoning.
